This is not what I had planned. I wanted to make a nice bulky halfcircle shoulderette but the yarn opposed. It continuously fallen from the needles. So instead of my plan I made a scarf with a simple tuck stitch pattern. But I have to say this is a beautiful yarn! Quite heavy and slippery but it has such a wonderfully silky touch and vivid shiny colour. But unfortunately its thickness is over my poor machine's limit consequently it was the last time I tried to use it.

How to form a sideways knitted and half-circle (or half-doughnut) scarf, shaped by short rows in the stocking stitch section. It is knitted along with the lace border as one piece. Apply your own lace edging design - please remember to choose a pattern which is loose enough to stretch during blocking. I used rib lace and openwork rib lace versions.

After the straight beginning:
1. 2 rows N 2. 1 row BX (put pushers rest position as the chart indicate) 3. carriage on the left: hook yarn to the nearest needle with pusher in rest position

This half-circle scarf (or shoulderette) is edged with lace chains and
has stocking stitch body. The inspiration came from Henslowe by Beth Kling which is one of my favourite patterns. So I tried to forge a pattern for knitting machine and this is the result.

The scarf is side-ways knitted as one piece and the halfcircle (or half-doughnut)
form is shaped by short rows in the stocking stitch section.
